Application tiled I une 13, 1916. Serial No. 103,401.

'To :zZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JouN CHANCHUCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burlington, in the county of Ward and State of North Dakota, have invented certain useful Improvements in Smoke-Strainers for Pipes, of which the following is a specification', reference being had .therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to means for removing the nicotine from the tobacco smoke in pipes, t 'ius removing from the smoke the evil component thereof, and at the same time producing a cool smoke, one object of the invention being the provision of means removably mounted within the bowl of the pipe so that all smoke being drawn through the stem will be filtered.

A further object of this invention is the provis1on of a simple and inexpensive device of this character and one that can be readily placed in the pipe bowl at will.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a sectional view through a pipe with the present device 1n place.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device Y er se. p Referring to the drawings, the numeral 5 designates the pipe bowl, in the bottom of which adjacent to the outlet 6 thereof, is a removable strainer 7.

This strainer consists of a foraminous receptacle 8, filled with cotton gauze or fiber 9, and to the upper edge of which is connected the inclined annular flange 9 which depends from the metal plate 10, which plate is provided wlth the upstruck nipples 1l, each of h an opening 12. The

bowl from igniting the gauze. It will be observed that the outer surface of the flange 9 engages the` inner surface of the pipe bowl so as to consequently support the foraminous receptacle.

A small tube 16 is led from the device 7 and enters the outlet of the pipe bowl to insure of the passage of clean filtered smoke to the outlet, and at the same time holds the evice properly in the bowl.

What I claim, as new, is z- A smoke strainer for pipe bowls including a foraminous receptacle for insertion in the pipe bowl, smoke filtering material arranged within the receptacle, a plate, an inclined annular iiange depending from the outer edge of the plate and surrounding the upper edge of the receptacle for establishing aconnection therebetween andarranged o as to engage the inner surface of the bowl of the pipe for removably supporting the receptacle, nipples projecting upwardly from the plate and terminating in openings, and a small pipe leading from the bottom of the receptacle for communicating with the outlet of the bowl for assuring of the passage of cool filtered smoke therethrough.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.

JOHN CHANCHUCK.
